Sara Varetti

I joined Sissa in 2022 and I am a second year PhD studentin the Cognitive Neuroscience group. My work focuses on the learning dynamics of neural networks with biological plausibile learning algorithms, and their application to neural population codes. I am jointly supervised by Sebastian Goldt (Theory of Neural Networks) and Eugenio Piasini (Neural Computation Lab). Before coming to SISSA, I graduated in Physics from the University of Naples, carrying out a thesis about critical phenomena in the brain. In my spare time, I enjoy hiking, photography, reading and cinema.
